Cool the Mixture: Allow the butterscotch mixture to cool until it reaches a lukewarm temperature to ensure it doesn’t affect the cream cheese.

Incorporate Butterscotch: Gradually blend in the cooled butterscotch mixture along with the vanilla extract, mixing until fully integrated and smooth.

Fold in Whipped Cream: Gently fold in the whipped cream using a spatula, ensuring that you maintain the airy texture while combining everything together.
